But when you're younger you gotta worry about having the equivalent of permanent sideburns or new wave glasses attached to your head. It's there. Things change, especially pop culture. So he has no worries about pop culture moving under his feet and having to wear a permanent fanny pack.

But actually "cool" is inherent to who you are, if you can rock something, anything, no matters what it is, then you'll never have to worry about pop culture or what anyone says about anything.

I have no tattoos but it does seem to me that tattoos fade. People I see that have tattoos that are 20, 30 or 40 years old seem to have mostly faded tattoos. So if you get one at whatever "advanced" age you are, I imagine it will look better and brighter than all the other peoples' tattoos who are in your age group.

There is only one answer to this: It's your body, do what you want. I've yet to ever hear that there's an age limit on getting a tattoo. It's a rather bizarre notion if you think about it.

If you need affirmation, you got it. Get what you want, be proud of it, and fuck the naysayers.

I'm thinking about what I want, and I'm doing my best to forego the . I mean everyone has one now, and it's kind of cliché. I've really thought of getting the butterfly cut out in The Beautiful Experience artwork. I'm sure someone has that, but I've not seen it, and it wouldn't matter anyway. Point being - get what you want, where you want it, and spit on anyone who says otherwise.

Remember what Val Kilmer said: "a tattoo is like wearing the same t-shirt every day for the rest of your life."

I'm not tempted to get one, but if I did, it would be in a private place and very small. Or on my shoulder, only visible in a cold-shoulder style.

I'm older than 66, BTW.
